Pastries As Signs of Heaven

Sometimes we ignore the little things. But what if we paid closer attention?

On Sunday, Kendra Yoo shared about the challenges of the past year. She also mentioned that pastries and naps have been two signs to her of God’s goodness. Think on that: pastries and naps as hints of heaven, as signs from God.

Isaiah paints a picture for the people of the coming goodness of God. If you read between the lines, it seems to suggest that Kendra is right and that pastries are indeed from God:

God will make her deserts like Eden,
    her wastelands like the garden of the Lord. - Isaiah 53:4

As we face deserts and wastelands, it’s the little signs of hope that keep us hanging on. Sometimes, it’s the small things that help us remember that the best is yet to come.

What are some very simple things in your life - like pastries and naps - that you sense are gifts from God? Don’t dismiss these little things! Today, try to give thanks for each one.
